General Description
The THINERGY MEC220 is a solid-state, flexible, rechargeable, thin-film Micro-Energy Cell (MEC ). This unique device substantially outperforms all other small form factor electrochemical energy storage technologies, including supercapacitors, printed batteries, and other thin-film batteries. The device is fabricated on a metal foil substrate to achieve its flexibility, thin profile, broad operating temperature range, and long life. The MEC is offered in a unique, patented package design that maximizes the active area of the cell and minimizes the device footprint to deliver the highest energy and power density of any energy storage element of its size. External terminals in the form of positive and negative nickel-plated tabs are located along the top edge of the cell for easy soldering to printed circuit boards (PCBs). The tabs are supported with a flex circuit for added strength and to keep them planar with the rigid or flex PCBs. Through-holes located in the terminal contacts allow the MECs to be aligned on solder posts for easy connection and cell stacking to create battery modules with higher capacity and current. These tabs also allow easy connection to both terminals from either side of the cell, which is important during automated assembly onto flex circuits and PCBs. The conductive metal tabs allow various connection methods including epoxies, anisotropic conductive film (ACF) materials, and solder. The cells can be oriented to stack in series (to multiply voltage) or in parallel (to multiply capacity and power). The active materials in the device include a Lithium Cobalt Oxide (LiCoO2) cathode and a Li-metal anode. A solid-state electrolyte called LiPON (Lithium Phosphorus Oxynitride), with its high Li-ion conductivity, is used to provide superior power performance. The extremely low electron conductivity within LiPON results in ultra-low self discharge, making

See Ordering Information. MECs may be shipped in a partially-charged state. Full charging prior to use is recommended. Standard electrochemical degradation is proportional to temperature increase. Contact IPS for performance information regarding higher temperature applications up to 150C. 80% of rated capacity remaining @ 25C. Discharging the cell below the specified discharge cutoff voltage will cause permanent battery damage. After first year. MECs cannot be used in reflow or infrared soldering processes. Hand or robotic soldering is required.

Self-Discharge Performance
In applications where no external load is applied to the MEC, it will experience self-discharge exhibited by an observable decrease in the OCV that is measured on the cell. Figure 8 shows a typical self-discharge curve generX-Ref Target - Figure 8
ated from MEC test data over one year of self-discharge at 25C. The self-discharge rate increases with temperature, but remains lower than any other energy storage device.

THINERGY MEC220: Solid-State, Flexible, Rechargeable Thin-Film Micro-Energy Cell Figure 9 shows an extrapolated ten year self-discharge curve. Extrapolation is used since no known failure mechanism has been identified in MECs that would cause the discharge curve to deviate from observed normal discharge behavior. As noted previously, the MEC capacity is

largely reserved in the voltage region between 3.9 and 4.0V. This demonstrates that the MEC capacity has been reduced by only a fraction, even after ten years of storage at room temperature. Figure 10 shows the extrapolated remaining MEC capacity after 10 years of storage time.

If your design requires the green (solder mask) side to face the board because of exposed pads, etc., then this land pattern must be mirrored. See Drawing (B) below.
